Yay! Found the jump drive, I'm so happy, it had my english paper on it : )
Disclaimer: I don't own the Charries of Invader Zim, of my friends. Just Kai
And like a brillant flash, the idea suddenly made itself known. 'It's perfect!' Kai thought, sitting up. Kai started snickering.
"Hmm...Very few people would share your views about the horrible affects of the Black Plague." Ms. Perky said.
Kai looked up, surprised. 'That's right...I'm still in this horrid classroom.' She thought.
'I have the idea...now how to go about it...' Kai wondered, and started to plot out various things while Ren was using the lunchtime to answer a call from Mah. To the rest of the world it looked like Ren was talking into a cell phone...that was connected by a thin cable to her back pack.
"My T.K!" Ren started having finished the call with Mah. "It seems that Mah has finally fixed the ship!"
Kai stared at the soldier, "Really?" she asked.
Ren nodded, happy also that they would be able to leave this horrid rock.
"Red won't know what hit him..." Kai started, snickering at the thought of finally being able to get back at him. The snicker soon turned into the loud, infectious, creepy cackling laughter that Irkens were infamous for(1). Ren joined in, and fairly soon the other dirt children in the food court laughed nervously along with the two Irkens, not having the slightest clue as to what was so funny. By the time that Zim and Dib (fighting as normal) entered the cafeteria, it was in a uproar. Noticing the entrance of the two, Ren stopped laughing. Poking to get her leader's attention, she pointed them out. Kai ceased with the loud laughter and settled for snickering quietly to herself...
"Mah! Let's go!" Kai called, slamming the door to their base shut.
The technician walked through the door clearing her throat and looking sheepishly at the ground.
"What is it?" Kai asked, eyes narrowing.
"Ummm..it's the ship, my Tallest..." Mah replied.
"It's not fixed?"
Mah swallowed nervously, "Errr...It was. You see, I was not able to completely repair the power core, it being damaged in the crash and all. But I managed to fix it up so that it would be able to get us back to the Massive. But still, the core was never really stable and..." she started quickly.
Ren looked up and noticed that Tallest Kai had her arms crossed and was lightly, but rapidly, tapping one finger. That was a sure sign that she was getting impatient.
"What happened to the core?" Ren asked. That helped Mah stop babbling and get her thoughts on track.
"Roughly thirty minutes ago, there was this strange surge. It made the core...erm...blow up."
Kai dropped her arms and exclaimed in shock "It blew up? How badly was the ship damaged?"
Mah shook her head and waved her hands "No, no, no. The core was outside the ship. I wanted to run a few more tests on it to double check that it would hold. This ship itself is fine, for it's right under the roof. The only thing it lacks is a power core to actually make it go."
"That's all?" Kai asked.
"Yes, my Tallest."
Kai stared at her for a moment, thinking, then glanced down at Ren. An idea suddenly popped into her head.
"All standard Invader bases use power cores for their secondary energy supply, right?"
"Uhhh...I believe so, my Tallest..." Ren replied slowly, not really sure of where this was going. Their base wasn't standard issue, so there was no power core to use.
"So Zim should have a few."
"Ye-What? We're going to ask the defective for help?" Ren slapped a hand over her mouth, 'Whoa, that came out too strong..' But Kai either didn't notice, or care.
"No, of course not. I don't plan on asking him anything."
"I'm sneaking in the base and stealing one?" Ren asked, grasping a hold of the plan.
"No. We're sneaking in the base," Kai said, indicating all of them. "And we're not stealing."
"What?"
"It's not stealing. I'm commanding that Zim is going to give up a power core. It's just a minor technicality that he doesn't know I'm issuing that order."
"No, I mean, you're coming too?" Ren asked, understanding why Mah might need to go.
Kai did the equivalent of raising an eyebrow.
"My Tallest, I mean no disrespect by that, it's just that given Zim's record with our past leaders, it might pose a r-"
Kai waved her off, "It'll be easier and quicker that way. Besides it's not like Zim is going to be there."
In their disguises once again, RiKa, Spiffy, Ren, Kai, and Mah hid in the shrubs that surrounded the defective's base. "And none of these earthlings find that house out of place?" Kai asked under her breath. Ren shrugged in answer, but then heard the door to the green house open and slam shut. They all watched as Zim and his SIR unit marched down the street, Zim congratulting himself on his most ingenious plan ever. "The Dib-Pig won't see this coming. I AM ZIM!"
"Finally, I thought he would never leave." Kai muttered getting up. As the group walked up to the front door, the gnomes scanned them, and seeing Kai through her disguise did nothing more.
'He leaves the door unlocked?' Kai thought as they entered into the house.
"What an interesting decor! Wow, it's much better than ours. I mean look at that picture! I'll have to ask Zim sometime where he got the ingenous color scheme." Mahsaid outloud,prancing around and looking at everything(2)Kai shook her head at that as they deactivated their disguises and said outloud, "Computer"
"Yes?" The computer replied, a bit surprise at having a Tallest, particularly one that the other two said was on vacation, be here.
"Where does Zim keep the power cores?"
"Storage bay four."
"Open an entrance then to Storage bay four"
"Umm...There really isn't an entrance to Storage bay four"
"There isn't?"
"No, not really. Zim never made one"
"Wouldn't he need one to access the storage bay?"
Kai could have swore that the computer was shrugging "You would think so, but there are two other storage bays like that"
"How does he get into the storage bay then?" Ren asked.
"I don't think he does"
"There's no way into the room?"
"Uh...Well, GIR can enter through the ventilation shaft"
Kai was silent for a moment as the image of Zim's dysfunctional SIR unit popped into her mind. "Zim's insane robot is able to access a room filled with power cores?" She askedmore than a little unnervedat the thought.
"Yes." The computer replied, also disliking that notion. "It's where GIR keeps his collection of tuna cans"
"Uh-huh..." Kai said slowly. Well, this was a bit of a problem. Even if Ren could fit in the ventilation shaft, there was no way a power core could. "Look. I want a power core. Is there any way of getting one from that storage bay?"
The computer was silent for a moment. "It could be teleported up here." it replied.
'Why didn't I think of that?' Kai thought, but outloud said, "That would work."
Within a few seconds a power core appeared. After looking it over, Mah indicated that Spiffy pick it up and said "Yup, this will work."
Kai nodded and said "Oh and by the way, Zim is to not know of us being here. So don't tell him"
"Wasn't planning to. Though you might want to reconsider going out the front door then"
Kai frowned, "Why?"
"Because Zim is walking up the front lawn"
Kai's mouth dropped in shock.
"Is there another way out of here?" Ren asked nervously.
"Uhh..that tube that Zim uses to throw away all the burnt up parts and stuff"
"I'm not goin-" Kai started, but shuddered when she heard Zim cursing the Dib and swearing revenge, "Okay, I'm gone." and she was the first to jump into the tube. Followed quickly by Ren, RiKa, Mah and Spiffy.
-A few seconds later-
"Hey, Spiffy, would you mind getting off of me?" Mah asked her SIR unitwho was sitting on top of her back, holding the core.
"Would you all mind getting off of me?" Kai asked, her voice muffled, for she was at the bottom of the pile. They quickly got off of Kai, and looked a bit sheepish for using their leader as a landing cushion. "That was fun..." Kai muttered, getting up. She turned and notice the human woman staring at them. It seemed that the tube lead to the neighbor's house.
"Uhh..." Kai started, not knowing what to say, for none of them wore disguises.
"Is it halloween (3) already? I better get the candy." The woman said walking away.
The Irkens looked at each other, a bit confused, but took the opportunity to activate their disguises and leave.
-Much later-
"I can't believe that no one noticed the fact that a squirrel and a walking teddy bear were carrying a three foot hot dog (4)" Ren said as they settled into the ship.
Mah shrugged, "Hey, whatever works" she replied, starting up the engine.
"I don't care how delicious the planet looks from space, I never want to go there again." Kai muttered under her breath. But she perked up immediately as they left the planet's atmosphere. For soon they would be back on the Massive. And soon she would have her revenge...(5)
(1) I think Irkens have the coolest laugh, and I always wondered what the Tallest would sound like if they did the crackling laugh. (They generally snicker or just laugh. I don't think they ever did that evil laugh)
(2) Bit of Link's personality inserted in here. Like Mah, she is easily distracted and has a three second attention span : )
(3) Wrote this chapter in July. I just find it funny with it being October and everything.
(4) The power core is about a foot thick and three feet wide. Just imagine a hot dog that big.
(5) Now that I think about it, this reminds me of a movie...did I accidentally borrow a line? I don't exactly recall what movie it reminds me of, but oh well : )
All I will say about Kai's revenge is that inspiration for it came from looking out my bedroom window at home. That's all I'm going to tell you : P
